Fashioning Film Stars: Dress, Culture, Identity
This book offers an incredibly unique take on the lives of Italian and Jewish immigrants in the late 1800s and early 1900s as they struggled to define themselves as 'ladies' and 'workers' and 'political figures' all at the same time. It is completely different from some other historical portrayals of these ladies as prostitutes, poor, starving, illiterate and degenerate which is really, really refreshing.
The only thing that I did not like about this book is the way in which it was written. It is repetitive and it is a bit disorganized. The writing itself only becomes moving and incredibly striking in the Conclusion when the author ties everything together and delivers some brilliant closing remarks. It makes you wish that she could have been that organized and that insightful the entire time.
Overall, this is a great book if you can struggle through the disorganization.
